Get expert answers to the most common questions about turning excess inventory into guaranteed tax savings and positive impact.
Companies typically achieve 3x better financial returns through strategic product donations compared to traditional disposal methods. While destruction provides $0 return and liquidation recovers only 10-20% of inventory value, our donation process unlocks tax deductions worth approximately 60% of your inventory's original cost basis. For example, $1M in excess inventory could generate $600K in tax deductions versus $200K from liquidation.
Simpli is an end-to-end agentic platform that automates product donations at scale. We handle everything from AI-powered charity matching across our network of 1.9M vetted organizations, to logistics coordination, IRS-compliant documentation generation, and impact reporting. Our technology transforms what used to be a complex 6-month manual process into a streamlined 24-48 hour automated experience.
We accept a wide range of non-perishable excess inventory including health and beauty products, medical supplies and equipment, apparel and textiles, consumer goods, electronics, educational materials, office supplies, and industrial equipment. Our AI matching system connects your specific products with charities that have demonstrated need and capacity. Products must be new, unused, and meet basic safety standards.
Our streamlined process takes just 24-48 hours from initial quote to pickup completion. Here's the typical timeline: Initial quote and charity matching (4-8 hours), documentation generation and approval (8-12 hours), logistics coordination and pickup scheduling (12-24 hours). This is dramatically faster than traditional disposal methods which can take weeks or months to coordinate.
Yes, we maintain 100% IRS compliance through our comprehensive documentation system. We automatically generate Form 8283 for noncash charitable contributions, coordinate with all recipient charities for required signatures, provide professional appraisals when needed, and ensure all recipient organizations are verified 501(c)(3) entities in good standing. Our documentation packages are fully audit-ready and include substantiation requirements per IRC Section 170.
Current market conditions make strategic donation more valuable than ever. Economic uncertainty has reduced liquidation values by 30-40%, sustainability regulations are requiring better waste management, and ESG reporting demands are increasing. Additionally, recent tax law changes have enhanced charitable deduction benefits for businesses. Companies using traditional disposal methods are leaving significant value on the table.
Unlike traditional donation brokers, Simpli uses agentic AI technology to automate the entire process. We provide guaranteed tax savings calculations upfront, maintain the largest verified charity network, offer end-to-end logistics management, and deliver complete audit-ready documentation. Most importantly, we handle everything autonomously - you don't need to research charities, coordinate logistics, or manage paperwork.
We use a comprehensive valuation methodology combining original cost basis, current market conditions, product condition assessment, and comparable sales data. For high-value donations over $5,000, we coordinate with certified appraisers (ASA/AAA) to ensure IRS compliance. Our valuation reports include detailed documentation supporting the claimed deduction amount and meet all substantiation requirements.
We work with donations starting from $25,000 in inventory value up to multi-million dollar distributions. Our platform scales efficiently for both mid-market companies and Fortune 500 enterprises. Smaller donations may be batched with other clients for operational efficiency, while larger donations receive dedicated processing and expedited timelines.
Every client receives comprehensive impact reporting including recipient charity details, distribution timelines, beneficiary demographics, and measurable outcomes. We provide quarterly impact reports showing how your products were distributed, communities served, and environmental benefits achieved.
